As it seems you have to create a char in freerealms (reports differ, it's not even clear if its 170 or 340 sc you can get through this). I only got 170 from one source, I think it was clone wars as I am currently on my linux laptop which cannot run the free realms plugin.

Hey guys I really want to play with you guys and some friends here in Malta. I told them to create characters on Miller NC side. They ve already done that as have I and it would suck if we had to move server now that we agreed on one.

I also am already NC on Miller and i do not really understand the whole problem.
Is everybody running several characters? Why? I can only earn Certs on one at a time anyways and then id rather play the one who already got the earlier certs. I thought we had outfits on different factions so that everybody can join at least one of them.

Yes, but we run different weekly nights and a fair few of us care less about having one character with loads of certs as just hopping in with whatever empire's night it is.

Is it possible for us to get a poll put up here to see exactly how many people want to main in each faction?

Honestly looking at the # of people we have...(based on what I saw in one night at launch) it might be better to get everyone in the same faction on the same server so we have more bodies on the ground.
We have to fill 48 people after all for a full RPS outfit.

Once we figure out the primary faction, that one can be created on Miller, and the other faction(s) on other servers as secondaries.

To clarify: Station Cash is the in-game currency of PlanetSide 2 and other games.
Also, you only need to input your SOE username and password on each site and that's it, no need to download and play the games, neither accept the ToS.

I've been playing Wednesday nights because that's the night a group was playing and I was free to play. Had I been free Friday's I would've joined up with an NC char too.

In relation to different chars and certs, again I don't care about having the bestest char with the bestest weapons and the bestest upgrades. The whole fun aspect of this game is playing with a large group.

So I'll play on Wednesdays for sure with Vanu if thats the group we all go for, and if I ever get a spare Friday night to play and everyone is blue, I'll be NC.

Just wanted to ask if asian people (and/or those people with not so godly internet connection or mic) are allowed in. EU would be closest to me because of lesser time difference. Also Friday night sounds best for me so I guess it is NC faction I will be fighting for

I would plan on having NC as my main character for a number of reasons, not least because I will probably be free most Fridays but only every other Wednesday (not free tonight, for example).

I still have love for Vanu and would like to join them when I'm able but I'd prefer not to have to get two accounts (particularly since I plan to get a membership for my main account).

However, clearly people of both factions have an interest in staying on Miller and this will only increase as people establish their characters. In summary, I'm not really sure what I'm saying though... maybe we should just petition SOE to allow 2 faction characters per server?

That's not really the issue, Arthur. The squads are entirely independent - the Vanu one came from PS2 players on the RPS forums, the NC one came from RPS Steam chat - if those of us who play NC on Friday wanted to play Vanu on Wednesday we wouldn't be in the Friday NC outfit.

And guys, make this decision fast. The way I see it is that having two platoons on different sides of the same server is... well, not clever. The sooner you make this decision, the sooner people can migrate around and start leveling/getting certs.

Since my NC character is on Woodman, I'd vote for VS on Miller (since that will compell you to join me!). Sorry guys.

I wonder why they suddenly decided to stop having different factions on the same server. Seems a tad silly. Also a shame to see they still havent fixed some of the warping/crashing bugs, kinda reinforces my view that this is not a release but an open-beta Anyway thats a side issue, hopefully we can get this sorted out to get the most involved.
